WINGED AND wINGLEss LICE.

The syphus fly, represented in the sec
ond cut, also the little maggot near it,
revcl amidst the plant lice. This maggot
especially seems never satiated, but is
constantly banqucting on the lice. The
lady bird beetles, especially the larvD or
grubs (scc same cut,, also do signal service
in the same direction. Many people
through ignorance destroy these useful
insects. There are several species of the
ichneumon family of the genus aphidi :,
very minute parasites, Which also destroy
these lice in great numbers.
a remedy suggested by Professor Cook,
in a recent bulletin issued. is kerosene and
o mixture. To make this he uses one
fourth pound of hard soap, preferably
whale oil soap, and one quart of water.
This is heated until the soap is dissolved,
when one pint of kerosene oil is added
and the whole agitatcd till Il permanent
emulsion or mixture is formed. The nSi-
tation is easily secured by use of u force
pump, pumping the liquid with force back
into the vessel holding il. He then adds
water so that there shall he kerosene in

II Held Her Hand"
I held her hand in mine the while She sat

Her soft, warn, breath my cheek did gently pat,

Iheld her hand.

When she refused: and oh, the Joy I've missed.

But, when a novice at the game of whist,
